Aum (オム, Om) is a powerful staff of Archanea, capable of restoring life to deceased warriors. It is usable only by women of royal lineage. Rumored by the world at large to have been lost as of the era of the War of Shadows, it had in fact located by Gharnef in the Resurrectory, a temple in Dolhr, and it was to the end of using it that Gharnef held hostage Princess Elice of Altea; she revealed this information to her brother Marth when he came to Thabes to free her. In the intervening years following the War, the staff ended up in the Dragon's Altar.

Depending on the game in question, there are between one and six candidates to wield Aum. Elice is the only one capable of using it in all appearances; Maria and Yumina can also use it in some games, after increasing their staff weapon rank. Caeda, Minerva and Sheena can use it in the remakes, but must be reclassed to a staff-wielding class and gain the requisite weapon rank first.

Locations

Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Mystery of the Emblem Book 1, Shadow Dragon

Mystery of the Emblem Book 2, New Mystery of the Emblem

Trivia

In Shadow Dragon, Aum cannot resurrect the character selected as a decoy in the Prologue; this may have been foreshadowing how, in New Mystery of the Emblem, the canon decoy (Frey) actually barely survived the decoy experience and eventually returned to serving Altea.
